Date: Saturday 26th October 2024, 15:30 - England Hockey Tier 2 Championships
MOM: Bugg
Goals: Breeze x2, Rose
The first team started there latest cup campaign against a very familiar foe. Games against Newcastle are always a tight affair and this was no different.
Newcastle started strongly against a somewhat lethargic Stokesley who found it hard to get into the game early doors, Newcastle broke away to score the first goal of the game. Stokesley responded with a well worked short corner to level the scores. The game turned very stretched and Stokesley constantly got hit on the counter attack after losing the ball far to easily, Newcastle started to dominate the possession stats and they made that count when they scored 2 quick fire goals to go into half time 3-1 in the lead.
The second half started well after a formation change which promoted a penalty stroke that was converted nicely. The game then ebbed and flowed with out Stokesley really putting Newcastle under pressure and the game finished 5-3 to Newcastle. The cup run is over before it started with the lads going into the plate which let’s face it this year in tier 2 was a good strategic move
Next game: Leeds Adel M2 - AWAY (Saturday 2nd November, 13:30 push back)
